Plain-language change summary

In the recent update to Senate Bill 285, the definitions section has been modified to clarify terms related to school funding. Specifically, the phrases regarding the "County allocation factor" and "Non-State funds" have been slightly reworded. These changes aim to ensure better understanding of how funds are calculated and distributed to local school systems. This clarity matters because accurate definitions are crucial for the implementation and oversight of educational funding, impacting how resources are allocated in schools.
